    Found this at the same site I have also found a 1875 dime, 1822 half dollar, 2 large cents, 1800 wine tap, 1800 sash buckle, C/W button. You will not believe how good the Tornado coil is. It can hit this thin half dime when other coils can not Been over this spot many times but not with the tornado. Thanks for looking.

    I been thinking to get a larger coil. But given that I have the SS NEL that I always run (with the backup 4" CC and 8" stock CC) as well as the GTI with the 9.5" and 12.5" I am not sure if I need another one. I'll be getting another machine with a 10" DD as well.

    Congrats on the silver. Looks like you found the right spot to hit. A little worn on the HD but at least you can still make out the 'O' mint mark.

    It looks better in person. The back is worn more than the front. I guess letter for the back to be worn more than the front and not be able to read the date. The Tornado is an amazing coil. It paid for itself first time out. Found a 10K 10 gram gold class ring.

    I'd prob need to have more permissions at farm fields to be inclined to get one.
